Espeon is one of the lesser-used Eeveelutions in Pokemon GO. It has seen a fair amount of usage in the GO Battle League. With Pocket Monsters like Medicham, Cresselia, and Defense Forme Deoxys, you have much better alternatives to go with when it comes to Psychic-type elemental typing coverage. However, Espeon is not entirely unfeasible in the current meta of the GO Battle league.

In this article, we will take a look at the best teams that you can put your Espeon in to get the most optimum results in the GO Battle League.

The best team for Espeon in the Great League:

  • Espeon in the Lead
  • Scrafty as the Safe Swap
  • Obstagoon as the Closer

Espeon ranks in the late 400s in this format of the GO Battle League. There are a lot of better Psychic-type alternatives in this format of the GO Battle League.

If you still want to use Espeon in the Great Legue, you can use the team we suggested. You will have good results if you play your cards well.

The best team for Espeon in the Ultra League:

  • Shadow Gyarados in the Lead
  • Espeon as the Safe Swap
  • Moltres as the Closer

Espeon is not really an ideal Psychic-type attacker for this format of the GO Battle League. But if you still want to use it, this team will have you covered.

Espeon, with Psychic fangs, will not only help you debuff your enemy, but you will also potentially be able to bait out your enemy’s shield. Shadow Gyarados and Moltres will help you dish out nuking damage on your enemies.

The best team for Espeon in the Master League:

  • Altered Forme Giratina in the Lead
  • Dialga as the Safe Swap
  • Espeon as the Closer

Espeon currently sits at #242 on the leaderboard of the open Master League. While it isn’t the best Psychic-type attacker in this format of the GO Battle League, it is definitely easier to power up when you compare it to Mewtwo or Solgaleo.

We don’t really need to state why Altered Forme Giratina and Dialga are on this team. These two creatures have been dominating the meta of the Master League in Pokemon GO for quite some time now. Both Giratina Altered and Dialga have solid stats, strong elemental typings, and impressive movesets.

As a result, they help to crush your enemy’s team and whatever they leave behind, and Espeon can clean up the rest with its Future Sight nukes.

Attacks of all the creatures in this team:

PokemonFast MoveCharged Moves
Giratina AlteredShadow Claw
Dragon Claw, Ancient Power
DialgaDragon Breath
Iron Head, Draco Meteor
EspeonConfusion
Psychic Fangs, Shadow Ball*

This team can help you deal with current meta-threats like Mamoswine, Buzzwole, Ho-Oh, Swampert, Hero Forme Zacian, Mewtwo, Metagross, Garchomp, and Gyarados.
